Origin

Old English scytel 'dart, missile', of Germanic origin; compare with Old Norse skutill 'harpoon'; related to shoot. Sense 1 and the verb are from the movement of the bobbin from one side of the loom to the other and back.

Old English scytel meant ‘dart, missile’ and is from a Germanic source; Old Norse skutill ‘harpoon’ is related. The use for a form of transport going backwards and forwards between two fixed places stems from association with the movement of the shuttle used in weaving going from one side of the loom to the other. The word's use in space travel is from the 1960s.
